Papa Roach Join in on the Nostalgia Trip with a 25th Anniversary Tour for Infest
It really feels like we’re starting to get to the land of diminishing returns with these anniversary tours, man. After Slipknot and Korn really tore it up this year to mark the anniversaries of their debut records, today’s announcement that Papa Roach will do the same for the 25th anniversary of Infest feels a little lackluster.
Sure, the album went triple platinum and yeah, it gave the world songs like “Last Resort” and “Broken Home” to a lesser extent, but did anyone really ask for this? Who knows — I’m not here to yuck your yum if you enjoy yourself some Jacoby Shaddix and the Roach boyz.
In their announcement, the band revealed that the anniversary tour — dubbed the “Rise of the Roach Tour” — will include supporting acts Rise Against and Underoath, with the whole run taking place across two separate legs. Shaddix said next year’s tour will be a huge celebration, since Rise Against will also be marking 25 years.
“We can’t wait to bring the Rise of the Roach tour to North America next year. Rise Against are legends in their own right, and will bring another dynamic to this tour. With both our bands celebrating our 25+ year legacy and deep catalogs, we are truly blessed to be able to put this show in front of fans.”
Tickets for the tour will go on sale next Thursday, October 14 at 10 a.m. local time, with artist pre-sales starting this coming Monday, November 11. Other pre-sales will also be listed throughout the week. If any of this excites you, you can find out where the tour will be headed by checking out the list of dates below.
